Nancy Pelosi is already implicitly criticizing the “Green New Deal” by not knowing what it’s called. Fox News reports:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is set to release her much-touted “Green New Deal”on Thursday — a package of far-reaching, big-government proposals like health care for all, federal job guarantees and a push to eliminate U.S. carbon emissions — but it’s already receiving shade from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Pelosi told Politico on Wednesday. “The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it right?”
The ding by Pelosi comes just as Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., are teasing the ambitious deal and set to unveil it at a Thursday afternoon press conference. The measure is currently in a form of a non-binding resolution — meaning even if it passes it won’t do anything. But it formally outlines the proposal in Congress for the first time and would mark a start on the path toward what Ocasio-Cortez has called “a wartime-level, just economic mobilization plan to get to 100% renewable energy.” Cost estimates for the sprawling proposal range into the trillions.
The resolution, obtained by NPR, says the U.S. “has historically been responsible for a disproportionate amount of greenhouse gas emissions” and calls for the U.S. to take a “leading role in reducing emissions through economic transformation.”
The details of the proposal are wide reaching and exorbitantly expensive to implement, such as rebuilding entire swaths of the country in less than 10 years.
I toiled through that exercise in stupidity. It was posted, I copied it and spent a week reading it, reading it again and editing it. I don’t think even the Democrats will be clueless enough to pass it.
As for the new socialists in the Democratic party, don’t they know socialism has already been tried in America. It failed miserably. I suggest all curious and open minded Americans ‘search’ the Mayflower compact and the first four years after the Pilgrims settled in the new world. The Mayflower compact was a socialist document. It’s message the socialist philosophy. From each in their capacity to each in their need. Four years later the doers revolted against the drones and capitalism took over. We’ve been free ever since.
That bitch has GOT TO GO!! Thank God she is not 35 years old!
